Ground-Water Systems
The Ground-water Systems team discussing a project in the field.
The team's investigations provide data on Wisconsin ground water that enables proper management of resources and facilitates an understanding of ground water quantity and quality.
The Ground-Water Systems Team conducts scientific investigations into ground water in Wisconsin.
Ground water is all fresh water below the land surface that supplies aquifers, wells, springs, and water in the zone of saturation where all openings in rocks and soil are filled. The upper surface of ground water forms the water table. Although ground water and surface water are interconnected, projects that have ground water as the primary focus are grouped here.
Team membership fosters a close working relationship with cooperators and the University community. The team provides cooperators with state-of-the-art techniques and expertise to provide an understanding of the relation of ground-water systems to other natural resources and humans. The team provides technical review for existing ground-water projects and designs and presents proposals to cooperators.
